Suggestion that might reduce battery usage

Paul Wright vor 12 Jahren aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 12 Jahren 4
I really like XiiaLive. It has been quite reliable, and it uses noticeably less battery power than one of the other popular radio apps (that app also caused strange phone behaviour, like lock-ups). Nevertheless, XiiaLive still uses more battery power than I would like, and maybe more than it needs to. I can download 80MB of podcasts in 2 minutes, for no noticeable battery usage, and play back a 3 hour podcast for just a fraction of my phone's battery life. Using XiiaLive for 2 hours, involving a similar amount of data download (though admittedly higher bit-rate processing during playback) will use up almost all of my battery. It occurred to me that one difference between XiiaLive and a podcast download with separate playback, is that the podcast download is probably receiving full/large data packets, while XiiaLive is reading the data as fast as it comes in from a throttled stream. That means the same amount of data will arrive in many many small packets, resulting in a lot more radio activity accessing the Wi-Fi network. I don't know how hard it is to do this in an Android App (I know how I'd do it on a PC), but one thing you could try, in order to increase the packet sizes, and thus reduce radio activity and battery usage, is to add a delay before reading the input stream. Figure out what percentage of your buffer equates to a full Wi-Fi/TCPIP packet, then add the corresponding delay. For example, if 10% of the buffer equals a good packet size, then don't try to read more data from the input stream until the buffer drops to 90% full (either calculate the required sleep time based on buffer fullness, or have the playback function trigger the read event at the 90% mark). Again, I don't know how hard it is, or if it's even possible, to do this using Android software (it depends how much control the software gives you versus how much it does for you automatically), but I have my fingers crossed for you.

wma playback issues

James Duncan vor 12 Jahren aktualisiert von Arrowcatcher vor 11 Jahren 3

This single tune m3u playlist opens but won't play in my Android phone (4.0.4):

http://boleadora.com/bolivia1.m3u

Discovered reason is that the underlying file "bol1.wma" won't play in XiiaLive.  The file will play in multiple players on the phone including WinAmp but not XiiaLive.  Seems like it should work in your player.

Sleep timer already is on together with app start

Петр vor 11 Jahren aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 10 Jahren 1
Hello

I would be glad to have the sleep timer already in started mode when I start the application if I choose such an option, of course. The matter is that I start the radio when I go to sleep and I have to start the sleep timer manually every time.

Just to make sure I understand your request:


You would like to have a widget that shows you your favorites and you can click them to start playback without having the app open?

import from free version

JW vanLohuizen vor 14 Jahren aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 14 Jahren 1
How do I import my favorites from the free version?

Thank You
Antwort
Jona (Lead Developer) vor 14 Jahren
I do recognize this isn't the best way to transition from free to paid and I'll be working to make this topic a bit easier to do in the near future.

Copying user data from lite to paid version:
1. Open lite version and click settings.
2. Scroll down and hit the backup button under BACKUP & RESTORE.
3. Close the list version
4. Open the paid version and click settings.
5. Scroll down and hit the restore button under BACKUP & RESTORE.

Hope that works!

When trying to listen to any stream on www.groovera.com which streams OK on PCs it kicks back error 1010 . Running on Galaxy S w/ Android 2.1
Antwort
Jona (Lead Developer) vor 14 Jahren

Error 1010 means that the streaming service has died. Some error must had happend internally. Do you have the particular link which you are having problems with?


UPDATE:

I'm currently closing this post.  If you are still having issues with the latest version of XiiaLive please let me know...

Station/Title scrolling with ICS

Gary Matsko vor 12 Jahren aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 12 Jahren 3
Using a Cyanogenmod9 ICS ROM on an HTC Incredible2.  Station/Title scrolling is not working in the app or on the notification menu.  I've tried double tapping on the station name and title, going out and back in to the app, but I can't get it to scroll.  Am I missing a setting somewhere or is this a known issue?  Running version 2.2.4.
